Coffee Coconut Milk Ice Cream

I love coconut everyyyyyything. The scent and taste is just so intoxicating. My favorite lotions are laced with coconut so I can pretend I’m in Bali again. Coconut oil as lotion in the winter? Yes, please.

Speaking of Bali and coconuts. The very first day I was there, I was super dehydrated. Like..to the point I was googling hospitals in Bali that my health insurance preferred. I drinking so much water but I couldn’t keep it down so I swore I was going to need an IV or something. I was like “how the heck does health insurance work internationally?!” Basically freaked out and couldn’t function. I almost called the front desk to call for an ambulance. Thankfully, Gina told me I needed some electrolytes in me and to see if they had coconut water. I called the front desk and they were shocked I even asked this question. They were probably like, ‘do you even know where you are right now?’ Anyway, they said they had ‘fresh coconut water’ and I was like, ‘what do you mean by ‘fresh?” and they were like, ‘well, we cut a hole in the center and give you a straw to drink out of.’ I’ve never drunken out of a coconut before so I was pretty stoked. I was SO surprised when they came to my room with this HUGE coconut. It basically saved me from going to the hospital. After about 2 hours, I was a whole new person. Coconuts <3

Obnoxious amount of photos in this post but I couldn’t decide sooo your face gets to be up close and personal with numerous photos of this coffee coconut milk ice cream.

Okay, SO. Inspiration for this ice cream comes from Rose’s Luxury. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the coconut milk ice cream we had when we dined there a couple months ago. It was just freaking amazing. And I was like, this is totally paleo-friendly. Although, I doubt they used coconut sugar but whatever. I knew that MINE was going to be paleo-friendly.

I kind of wish I made this when I was on my paleo diet. So you know, I could’ve had ice cream while on the challenge. Anyway. It’s here now in all its glory and you have to make it because 1. it’s easy and 2. it’s freaking delicious.

My over-excitement over this may or may not be caused by the espresso in this ice cream.

Hi, I’m sorry Kay, I don’t have the ability to check comments around the clock so I apologize I’m just getting to this now. I hope you were able to figure it out. Agave would work, although I’ve never tried it. It shouldn’t alter the flavor too much!

Thnx for checking back. Made it anyway and it was yummy! Have not used coconut sugar yet, so was not sure how agave would alter the flavor from what you had had in mind. (love your recipes!!!!) :D

Can this recipe be made with 100%Coconut cream (19 gr fat per 1/2 cup serving) instead of Coconut milk? If so, would I still need to heat it up with the other ingredients? Is coconut sugar that the same as coconut palm sugar? Can this ice cream be made using Stevia instead of the sugar? Thanks in advance for your answers

Hi, you’re basically changing up this entire recipe and I didn’t develop it with the ingredients you’re asking so I can’t be 100% certain it’ll turn out or taste good. I do know that no, you cannot use coconut cream for this instead of coconut milk. Yes, coconut sugar is the same as coconut palm sugar. And sure, you could use stevia instead.
